Comment on Creature Comforts by Nick Park

I think very few people do not like the stop motion animation. It is sometimes a bit like using 3D technology, but has its unique charm. When I was looking at this animation, I can’t help think of the director himself. Nick park, almost all people who have some knowledge of animation will know him. He is a very low-key and quiet person. I think because of his personality, he uses animation to express his inner world. He likes to observe the animals and creates stories about animals, and his other two masterpieces, Wallace and Gromit and Shaun the sheep are well-known. So does Creature Comforts. Nick is different from Norman. Nick is more focused on the fun of the story and the characters, but this is also related to the limitations of stop motion animation. So in Creature Comforts, the range of movement is not big around animals, but even so we still feel very interesting. First, he gives the animals the personality of human. They have their own thoughts and can express, and some movements are like people, but they retain their own respective characteristics as animals as well. I initially thought it was done animation first and then dub the characters. However, I was wrong. After interviewing the ordinary people in the street, then made the animal characters, and put their words with these animals. Nick is really talent; the sound and the animation are perfect together. He also did well at many details, such as the animals were hesitant when thinking. This is where we need to learn. Details can make the story richer, and more vivid. The animation's interviewer from children to the old, it is about the animals’ opinions on the zoo on the one hand. On the other hand, the society is like a zoo, we are trapped in the zoo as animals. This animation is very interesting and meaningful. We laugh at it and start thinking at the same time.
